SUMMARY
A super, genuine, classic Douglas. With our vendor for over 20 years and always maintained with originality in mind.
DESCRIPTION
- After WWII, Douglas was in financial difficulty and reduced its output to the 350cc flat-twin engine models with the engine mounted across the frame
- The last new motorcycle produced by the company, the 1955 Dragonfly was built around an improved version of the existing engine
- Despite its riding comfort being described as 'equal to a car's', only 1,457 Dragonfly motorcycles were sold before the company was taken over and production ended in 1957
- 348cc flat-twin, four stroke OHV generating 17bhp. 4-speed box with chain final drive
- Our vendor has owned this bike for almost 20 years, and is likely it's second ever keeper
- A really lovely Dragonfly, always maintained with originality being the key
- Fitted with paniers, it has had recent work including a service, new chain and tyres
- With an external battery fitted, we witnessed this bike firing on its first kick
